Cone wrenches are bike specific and are the only things that can fit in wheel hubs.
It's ok that cone wrenches are stamped from flat steel because hub nuts are of low torque.
Automotive slim wrenches will not fit into hub nuts at all, and are better suited for axle nuts which are at the ends anyways, and also pedals that don't have the hex allen.
Under no circumstances do you use cone wrenchs for pedals.
